Portraits of Quiet Hope in Baltimore

After the announcement that the cops involved in Freddie Gray's death would be charged with crimes, protesters in the city were cautiously optimistic.

I took these portraits at various rallies and demonstrations in Baltimore over the weekend. People are literally dancing in the streets, coming together over Marilyn Mosby—the prosecutor who just charged six cops with various crimes relating to Freddie Gray's death—as a symbol of hope. We'll see what happens next, but right now it's hard to describe this moment as anything but positive.
